I'm still alive

Hows it goin guys. I don't get to check on here as much as I would like. I've been trying to get dirty internet in my chu (combat housing unit) for a while but the hajis are being slow. And the internet at work only allows you to get onto secure websites. So every once and a while my roommates internet works (though rare) and I get on.

Anyways, not much happening here. I kinda got screwed out of a CAB (Combat Action Badge) last night, good and bad in a way I guess. I work in a office most of the time working on thermal vision, night vision, optics, etc. Though some times I get bullshit jobs, like today I had to re-run our phone line because it poured all day and night yesterday and the line got un-buried and cut when it got ran over. Its mostly boring here more than anything, I miss the states thats for sure, especially my daughter and wife. Anyways, heres some pics, though not many since I lost my camera shortly after I got here (my pocket ripped open on some razor-wire and I didn't notice till later). I'll also post my address incase anyone wants to send me anything.

Hahaha yeah it taste the same. They have pretty much all the same sodas, only difference in they are heavier cans (they feel like our full can when they are empty) and have smaller holes, i guess cuz they aren't pigs like us Americans and chug a million a day. I escort 2 Iraqi workers Mondays and Thursdays, they work there asses off for $8 a day.
